Bad news for all those Democrats whose closest thing to work is to sit on the front porch drinking taxpayer provided beer--unless you consider making babies to be work.

Their money is actually going to push a bigoted right-wing racist theocratic agenda.

Democrats are the racists who have spent over 200 years keeping blacks down. If you like having the same rights as whites, thank a Republican.

If you like having the right to vote, thank a Republican.

These are 2 things Democrats fought ferociously to prevent blacks from ever having.

Even your hero, JFK, when he was a Senator voted to prevent blacks from having equal rights to white people. After that vote in 1956, it took Republicans another 12 years to overcome Democratic opposition and finally pass the 1968 Civil Rights Act which required a Republican filibuster in the Senate to finally pass it over the opposition of racist oppressive Democrats.

I still can not fathom why any self respecting black person would ever affiliate with the Democratic Party that fought a 200 year race war to keep all blacks enslaved with no right to vote and no civil rights.

So if you are black, next time you vote, next time you are allowed to sit somewhere besides the counter in a restaurant or next time you sit in the front of a bus, next time you are allowed to use the same water fountain or bathroom as a white person, thank a Republican.

Yeah yeah... The GOP in New Britain has their two Uncle Tom's in Dwight Blint and Daniel Davis. No minority should ever support a Republican -- the party of christians, nazi's, the KKK, anti-government libertarian wackos, and gun nuts.

If you want to join the KKK you really should become a Democrat first. The KKK was originally started by Democrats. Democratic Senator Robert Byrd was admittedly a high ranking member of the KKK. That is why the Democratic party was always so opposed to blacks ever having any rights, because the KKK members were mostly Democrats!

Again, if it weren't for Republicans, blacks would not have any rights, and we would still be following the Dred Scott decision of the Democratic majority of the Supreme Court which said that blacks were not human, so they were not entitled to the same rights as humans (whites). Republicans fought vicious opposition of Democrats in granting blacks equal rights and now they affiliate with their former slave owners against the very people who freed them. Makes absolutely no sense.

The KKK was the terrorist wing of the Democrat Party.

Our nation’s top historians reveal that the Democratic Party gave us the Ku Klux Klan, Black Codes, Jim Crow Laws and other repressive legislation which resulted in the multitude of murders, lynchings, mutilations, and intimidations (of thousands of black and white Republicans).

The Republicans:

Republicans enacted civil rights laws in the 1950’s and 1960’s, over the objection of Democrats.
Republicans founded the HBCU’s (Historical Black College’s and Universities) and started the NAACP to counter the racist practices of the Democrats.
Republicans pushed through much of the ground-breaking civil rights legislation in Congress.
Republicans fought slavery and amended the Constitution to grant blacks freedom, citizenship and the right to vote.
Republicans pushed through much of the groundbreaking civil rights legislation from the 1860s through the 1960s.
Republican President Dwight Eisenhower sent troops into the South to desegregate the schools.
Republican President Eisenhower appointed Chief Justice Earl Warren to the Supreme Court, which resulted in the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education decision.
Republican Senator Everett Dirksen from Illinois, not Democrat President Lyndon Johnson, was the one who pushed through the civil rights laws of the 1960’s.
Republican Senator Everett Dirksen from Illinois wrote the language for the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
Republican Senator Everett Dirksen from Illinois also crafted the language for the Civil Rights Act of 1968 which prohibited discrimination in housing.
Republican and black American, A. Phillip Randolph, organized the 1963 March by Dr. King on Washington.

The 1964 Civil Rights Act Roll Call Vote: In the House, only 64 percent of the Democrats (153 yes, 91 no), but 80 percent of the Republicans (136 yes, 35 no), voted for it. In the Senate, while only 68 percent of the Democrats endorsed the bill (46 yes, 21 no), 82 percent of the Republicans voted to enact it (27 yes, 6 no).

Thaddeus Stevens, a Radical Republican that introduced legislation to give African Americans the so-called 40 acres and a mule and Democrats overwhelmingly voted against the bill.

During the Senate debates on the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, it was revealed that members of the Democratic Party formed many terrorist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan to murder and intimidate African Americans voters. The Ku Klux Klan Act was a bill introduced by a Republican Congress to stop Klan Activities.

History reveals that Democrats lynched, burned, mutilated and murdered thousands of blacks and completely destroyed entire towns and communities occupied by middle class Blacks, including Rosewood, Florida, the Greenwood District in Tulsa Oklahoma, and Wilmington, North Carolina to name a few.

History reveals that it was Abolitionists and Radical Republicans such as Henry L. Morehouse and General Oliver Howard that started many of the traditional Black colleges, while Democrats fought to keep them closed. Many of our traditional Black colleges are named after white Republicans.

After exclusively giving the Democrats their votes for the past 25 years, the average African American cannot point to one piece of civil rights legislation sponsored solely by the Democratic Party that was specifically designed to eradicate the unique problems that African Americans face today.

As of 2004, the Democrat Party (the oldest political party in America) has never elected a black man to the United States Senate, the Republicans have elected three.

Democrats have also never elected a black man to the office of president. I predict that if we ever have out first black president ever, it will be a Republican.

For 100 years, the Republicans fought for the freedom and equality of blacks. Lincoln was a Republican, and he won the freedom from slavery for blacks. After the Civil War, Republicans enacted the Fourteenth Amendment to protect the rights of freed slaves. In 1957, Eisenhower sent the U.S. Army to Little Rock to force Democrat Governor Orval Fabus to desegregate the schools.

All of the racist bigots became Democrats after the Civil War because Lincoln was a Republican. For 100 years, Democrats were the ones who lynched blacks and made laws against blacks. Democrats formed the KKK and established segregation. Democrats fillibustered and defeated Republican anti-lynching bills in 1922 and 1938.

That's why most blacks were Republicans until the Democrats bought their votes with welfare in 1964.
